Thank you so much ladies, I can't wait! I'll make sure to post a picture with it on

Yup just make a mixture like you're going to cook scrambled eggs on the stove and put it in a mug or a bowl and zap it for 1 min. And that'll give you some time to toast an english muffin or something else to put it on. I don't think it tastes any different than cooking them the regular way. It seems weird to cook an egg in the microwave lol but it works I swear. Plyo is nuts lol my quads litterally hurt so bad right now and I'm used to working out 5 days a week! I'm so excited for my BD shoot, except my wedding isn't until January 2012 and i'm going to be soooooo tempted to give him the book early! My fiance and I are terrible at keeping secrets from one another That gives me hope for next week! haha my legs were sooo sore but I even did the bonus round, I just didn't do a very good job at it ! Yoga is the only video i actually like lol I hope it's coming up soon!

I tried to put a front and back pic up sorry! here's the front again:

I found a dress I am absolutely in LOVE with! Going to try it on this weekend and I can't wait! I hope it looks as amazing on as it does in pictures cause if so...totally buying it. It's a Sottero & Midgley called 'Adorae Louise'

bright colors : tropical

summer : flowers

dislike T-strap shoes

dangerous : fun

Almarie is fantastic! We have switched our wedding from Iberostar to a private beach through Tropical Weddings Jamaica and I couldn't be happier. You get more for your money from Almarie for sure --- instead of paying for food and drinks at an all inclusive. Thanks for letting everyone know about her Princess J, she is a saint and will literally answer a list of 50 questions for you within a few hours.

Eggs are delish. Did you know if you scramble an egg in a bowl with some milk, pepper, salt and microwave it for exactly one minute it cooks perfectly? I do that sometimes when I'm in a hurry and make breakfast sandwiches with the egg, cheese and veggies, if you put it in a bowl or mug it comes out perfectly round! Plyometrics last night to start out my P90X experience? YIKES. I shouldn't have ran 5k the day before my legs were already a little sore before I started it. I forgot how hard that video is holy cow!!! I started on Day 2 cause it will work out way better with my schedule, I need monday and wednesday to be my long and hard days. I hope this works my BD shoot is in 3 months and I want to look amazing!

like...as long as they aren't trying to eat me Black as a wedding color

Like fake nails

That picture is INCREDIBLE! You guys look so in love and you look beautiful, I adore your dress. Congrats, after seeing that I bet you can't wait to see the rest of them!

sugar : rush

Do any of you WI brides know of a bridal store that sells Sottero & Midgley dresses? I found the 'Adorae Louise' dress while browsing online and it's EXACTLY what I was looking for, but I'm having a hard time finding a vendor around here! Thanks ladies.

Haha if I knew I could get away with it, maybe just for the rush! Would you ever go to a rave?

caffeine : unhealthy

Like St. Patrick's Day?

Lol that's exactly what I weigh I'm just 2 inches taller so basically the same. And yes my midsection is the worst too! I feel like no matter how skinny I am that part won't completely go away and it's the one thing I really wish would. That's a good idea to take pictures in your favorite bikini! I think I will do the same with the measurments, I thought about doing them once a week but I don't want to obsess over the numbers and I know if I wait 30 days then my body is way more likely to have made changes. I'm not really on a specific diet, but I am a vegetarian so the low protein will problably be a problem here too. I know adding any lean protein would be good for you, it adds plenty of calories and will keep you feeling full longer without adding unwanted fat or sugar or empty calories. (lol i'm so not an expert as you can tell but this is just random stuff I've learned through the years) I'm going to try to up my protein intake by eating more beans and peas. An average dinner at my house: I make chicken or steak or some kind of meat for my FI and I make steamed veggies and some type of starch (i.e. rice, potatoes, pasta) But I think i'm going to start making more beans and peas with the veggies too. I like black beans, garbanzo beans (really high lean protein content), lentils, green peas. Spinach is also packed with protein, and I like salad a lot so i'm going to try to eat more of that even tho I feel like I eat it a decent amout as it is. I know eggs, milk, chicken, and fish are all excellent sources of protein you could try to incorporate more of those things more. Just adding a glass or two of milk would up your calories 100-300 a day. As for supplements, my FI takes a ton of them and swears by all his pills and powders and crap. I'ver never taken any but I just asked some ladies on another thread what they use because I might start taking a whey protein supplement after I work out. The two suggestions I got: Dymatize Elite isolate whey protein and Mysofusion. They both got good reviews and are pretty moderatly priced. A lot of the protein supplements out there have a toooooon of calories and sugar in them (for guys that are trying to gain weight) but these two are fat and sugar free so that's a plus.

Thats interesting Jessica, good thing you read that now you know what you're doing is still right and it's not real weight gain! Do you take your measurments at all or just weigh yourself? I think I might take measurments so I can see what's actually changing, my weight doesn't seem to change much no matter what I do. I don't really need to lose too much, just rearrange it haha. Have you considered taking any protein supplements? I think that would help a lot with being hungry in the morning, and the protein is great with helping your muscles recover! I might start taking some now that I'm doing P90X. If your body goes into starvation mode, it will burn muscle first to get energy, not fat, so it's not good to let yourself starve it actually makes it way harder to lose weight. I'm going to check out the beach body site too.:cool:

Thanks for the great site QueenDiva. I'll have to look around, I might be able to split an order with someone if interested I'd probably spend like 50$

Mondays : coffee

Thank you ladies for the info! I'll have to look at both of those options. There's so many supplements out there it's hard to know which ones are ACTUALLY good for you. My fiance takes humapro but he just switched and started on it so he doesn't have a good or bad review for the product yet.

sxc T - Do you take a protein supplement after you workout? If so which one? I've never used them but my FI does and I think I might start now that I'm working out 6 days a week.
